First of all, I'm a virgin in crypto currencies world. So I wanted to buy some Ethereum for USD and made a deposit to QuadrigaCX. Stupid enough but I realized that they don't offer such an option. Then, I came up with an idea to buy BTC and then trade them for ETH.

I tried to use QuadrigaCX coz I wanted to support a Canadian business, but they're crazy about your privacy. They ask you to hold your ID and take a selfie. Even big platforms like IB or Questrade won't go so far to intrude your privacy. In addition, their fee is very very high.Eventually, I chose coinbase, much cheaper than quad and you can fund your account with credit card.

Now you can buy Ethereum in seconds using your debit card, credit card, or cash -- using the same trusted system that has delivered over 125,000 Bitcoin orders over 4 years."

So, if you want to buy .075 of Ethereum (which comes to $67.37 CAD atm) . . . using a credit card, you need to buy a voucher through Flexepin, which comes in $25, $50 or $100..So you end up losing out on the difference, + it says, "allow 24 hours".
